RE: The Old Dog Discusses: When Life's Not Easy. From Street Vendors to Street Musicians!
Very talented! Thanks for the show! I say it's all in the eye's of the one in their own situation or "life movie" that they themselves have created! The "life movie" can be changed in an instant through thought and action at any time via the individual. It's really that simple. If you don't like your "life movie" simply change it. This particular gentleman looks to be very happy and at ease just doing something he loves. Isn't this what life's all about. Do we really need bragging rights via our successes in life to what... impress others or do we need to just love what we do, whatever that is, and create? Take Chris Cornell for instance. This very talented musician and father of three who was worth multiple millions and had the respect and envy of many through out the musical world we all know committed suicide at age 52? Why would someone who seems to have it all do such a thing leaving his three ,not adult, children behind? There are so many other examples of this also. I suppose what i'm trying to say is that our happiness/needs are not determined by $, possessions, or approval from others but rather from within ourselves and what we define them to be.
What a lovely reply. I have also found this to be true and I found a living example when I wrote about the Organ Grinder in Lugano.
